My favorite browser Opera has been released in version 9.5. What is seen, first, the new default skin. But under the hood a lot has done. So there is the integrated mail client back end for a new Imap, for the course of a full text search and bookmarks for a synchronization - possibility.
My subjective feeling that the "fastest browser in the world" has grown even faster, the instrument made speed optimizations. For more speed makes the new JavaScript engine, which also supports also the ECMAScript 4 - standard, as well as getter and setter methods. CSS3 is also now fully supported.
The changes to the imap backend, makes a conversion of the mails need to be initiated after the installation. After the conversion, the mail is not more of an Opera <= 9.2 can be read. The conversion itself is, however rasent quickly. My 50 000 emails (I just throw away anything) were converted within two minutes.

Conclusion: Due to the even better performance and improved JavaScript support, I can only any advise to the new version. For Linux and Mac, by the way platform-specific skins to become better integrated into the operating system. Thus for Linux supports the Qt graphics platform and the Mac users there is an ActionScript support.

So now who does not change is your own fault :-)

As I just now at blog-parade.de would have read iKA know what blog community as a Mail User Agent (MUA) uses the.
This is a nice occasion once again sing the praises of my "Norwegian IT knife to 'the Opera.
The main advantages for me is that he really cope with many emails and they will not know how Outlook saves in a single file but in the popular Unix mbox format. Since I both Windows (office), Linux (official and private) and soon with MacOs (private) work, I can platform independent access my mails. This divorce from all Microsoft products. In addition, Outlook comes with a mail Storm cope very badly. Anyone who has ever experienced this and was due to the shortcomings of Outlook for 2 days to pick up any mail that the mail had been reduced to the Admin account on the mail server, like the surrender of the additional components such as calendar or task management.

So now I have enough cursed Outlook. Here in brief are the pros and cons of Opera Mail.

Benefits

  • Cross-platform, mails in the same format on Windows, Linux and MacOS
  • can handle large amounts of mail and does not manage them in one large file
  • the mail can be extensive filters (also with regular expressions set), so that the mail only once physically exists, but it turns up in multiple virtual folders
  • gets along with both POP3 and IMAP
  • Mails can be determined with contacts, find labels or the nature of attachments very quickly
  • High Performance
  • Perfect integration in my favorite browser
  • not to forget news feeds and mailing lists are supported

Disadvantages

  • The search function could be more comfortable
  • missing component calendar and task management, but that does not belong to the primary functions of a mail client
